<P><STRONG>Function</STRONG>
<P>
Creates a new Series Object.

Series DXNewSeries()<BR>
</STRONG></TT><BR>
<P><STRONG>Functional Details</STRONG>
<P>
A Series is intended to represent a
single field sampled across some parameter, such as time or
temperature (e.g., a simulation of a CMOS device across a
temperature range).  Members of a Series
have a position.  A copy of the position is found
in the "series position" attribute.
<P>
For Realization modules, a Series should be a collection of compatible
Fields, each
with the same "data," "position," and
"connection" types, and the Series positions of all members
should be increasing only or decreasing only for the whole
Series.
<P>
The type of a Series is set the first time a typed member is added;
a typed member is either a Field with a "data" component or a
typed Group.  All typed members added to a typed Series must match
the type of the Series.  If a Series has no members, it is untyped.
<P>
The Object created can be deleted with DXDelete.
See <A HREF="progu023.htm#HDRMEMNG">4.2 , "Memory Management"</A>.
<P><STRONG>Return Value</STRONG>
<P>
Returns the Series or returns <TT><STRONG>NULL</STRONG></TT> and
sets an error code.
